We come to talk.
What is TV?
I do not watch
I smile at you.

I work for country.
Receive orders.
I drove one hour
to be here.

How about you?
I like fresh air.
Walked for ten minutes.
Wait for the structure.

How do you feel?
I do not know.
Then make a link.
What do we need?

I am a nurse.
I buy eye shadow.
I buy a ticket.
I am a guest.

Anyone else?
I raise my hand.
I look for hands.
I move my eyes.

You come back up.
Evaluate.
How did it go?
Now it is done.

How do I become
a member?

Smart-Grid

The food I eat
comes from the ground
which holds the dead.
And keeps us well.

Look at my dress.
It has a waist.
I walk around.
I wear high heels.

Before today
I could not travel.
Now I have been
to old Peru.

Your time is up.
I have expressed.
I smile at you.
You smile at me.

Now we turn
to speaker 2.
We clear the air
as you walk up.

My family is close-knit.
We watch TV.
My Dad tests me.
I have been loved.

My lips starlet.
My heart is big.
Those who win here
learn to live long.

The stars live longer
than we do.
They love the world.
We love them back:

And now we turn.
You are a star
though you are wrong.
What about me?

New Recruits

We gather here for you
Yours are still growing
This is near where we live
Pineapples and strawberries

We are no longer the recruits
We still have files
As do you
What is your question

To anything you might reasonably ask
Ours are unchanging
We are on the website
As are the answers

We keep them that way
The fruits we eat are the ones we choose
We are no longer the recruits
From the fruits that are here

As are the answers
As do you
Why are you thinking of joining
To anything you might reasonably ask

We do not need to want to be here
As do you
Why are you thinking of joining
Pineapples and strawberries
